Now What?You might have though making the money was the hard part, but in many ways holding onto it can be even harder.Friends you haven’t heard from in years will suddenly spring back into your life, strangers will send you threatening letters, and even family members will have a sob story about why they suddenly need money.Ironically enough, multi million dollar windfalls from inheritances, gambling, or gambling in denial “investing” actually increase the likelihood of being declared bankrupt by over 1,000%.So hang onto your lucky windfall and stick around to learn how money works,So to understand what to do with your new found fortune, you have to start off by understanding what not to do.Believe it or not, coming into life changing amounts of money in a short space of time can inflict upon people what psychologists call Sudden Wealth Syndrome, and while that might sound like the best mental health problem to have, it is still a serious problem.According to the American Psychologist Dr Stephen Golbart, the symptoms of this affliction include anxiety, isolation and paranoia, brought about by the perceived guilt of receiving money that wasn’t “earned”.It’s kind of like the imposter syndrome turned up to 11.______________________________________________________________________#Windfall #CallOptionsGoBrr #HowMoneyWorksLink To Economics Explained Video - https://youtu.be/AqSExy3HBm0Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The Dark Secret Behind Those Omaze Giveaways - How Money Works | How Money Works

The Dark Secret Behind Those Omaze Giveaways - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈If you have watched YouTube… at all… in the last year or so you have no doubt know what Omaze is…For the few of you who don’t, they are an organisation that promotes lotteries for all manner of different items and experiences, ranging anywhere from a chance to win a Lamborghini all the way to an exclusive Star Wars set tour before it hit theatres.This all sounds very cool especially when it is revealed that all of the proceeds from these lotteries go on to support charities. To date the company has raised over 130 MILLION DOLLARS for charities that do everything from providing scholarships to orphaned children, to installing solar power in remote African communities.Surely it would be pretty hard to hate on an organisation like this right?Well…You see despite this chirpy exterior of flashy cars and warm fuzzies, Omaze is hiding a pretty dark secret. So it’s time to learn how your money works in these raffled because also reveals a lot about how an alarming amount of charitable organizations conduct themselves in the modern day.So before we go any further the first thing you need to know about is that it is a For Profit Institution, which means that its primary goal is not to feed the homeless or save the spotted owl, it’s to make money…It makes this money by representing organizations that are themselves non profits, but they are not one themselves.Now there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this, if feeding America held a charity gala in a Hilton Hotel nobody would have any issues with Hilton hotels later going on to turn a profit that’s fine.Where Omaze starts to push it’s luck though is that it really doesn’t make any effort to stress this relationship.Just think, when your favorite YouTuber was talking about a car giveaway, they probably spoke a lot about Omaze, and the great work it was doing, but just think, do you remember any of the charities that these charities were actually meant to fund?If you do, you certainly have a better memory than me.This is no accident.The company spends millions of dollars on marketing every year and trust me if they wanted you to hear about the actual non-profits, you would have heard about the actual non-profits.The company would instead like for you to conflate with saving the children, more so than running lotteries to make fat stacks, and trust me they do make fat stacks.#Omaze #NonProfit #HowMoneyWorksOmaze lottery fund raising raffle giveaway some lamborghinis and ferraris to winners of this entry free prize money and then money towards good causes and local charities.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Why SPACs are Popular Investments | How Money Works

Why SPACs are Popular InvestmentsNicola Motors, Draft Kings, and Virgin Galactic have a lot in common.For starters all these companies have recently gone public and are still not profitable and while that's common for many IPOs neither Nicola or virgin galactic have actually generated any revenue from their main service lines.For Nikola they haven't even sold any electric vehicles and for Virgin Galactic they have still yet to deliver on their space tourism services. Most people would consider these stocks to be early stage and incredibly risky for wall street bets though it's a great idea.Perhaps the most important thing to understand about these companies is how they went public and that's through a spec or a special purpose acquisition company.We're going to look at specs how they're structured and answer why they become so popular among investors.SPAC's are by no means anything incredibly new they've existed for a while now but have just recently become popular again.The general idea behind a SPAC is that their management team raises money from investors to go public and then uses that money to buy another company the process through which the acquisition occurs is called a reverse merger and how this works is actually pretty simple...Music from Epidemic Sound#SPAC #IPO #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
